Fish 101 is a casual seafood
restaurant located on Coast Highway 101. Although their name is reminiscent of
a college elective, what you’ll learn is that they are very serious about
seafood and produce (sustainable, local, seasonal) and the environment (land
and ocean). They recycle as much as they can at the restaurant from beverage
containers to their cooking oil (recycled and reused as biofuel) and the take
out containers are compostable. It is favorite spot among locals and is recommended
by The Kate Stanton Innfor a nice casual seafood dining experience.

Albacore Tuna Poke ($9.95) is made with sashimi grade
tuna, sweet onion, shoyu, wakame, and served with wonton chips. It’s pretty
good, but would be better with more shoyu and a touch of sesame seed oil. Also,
cutting the fish into similar size chunks would help get the flavor into the
fish evenly. Wakame is good, but ogo would be better as it lends more of a
briny flavor. The presentation is very nice with the look of a tartare. Rating:

Fish N’ Chips ($10.95 for 2 pieces, $13.95 for 3
pieces) is beer-batter fish fried in rice bran oil and served with fries and
house made tartar sauce. The outside is crispy and crunchy. The fish is tender
and succulent on the inside. Their house made tartar sauce is fantastic! If you
like it on your fish, go for it. But it is also great as a dip for your fries!
Rating: 4.5/5

Grilled Fish Plate ($13.95) is your choice of Today’s
Catch simply grilled and served with your choice of two sides. In this case,
salmon, fries and cole slaw were chosen. The salmon is perfectly grilled with
tender, succulent meat and smoky, chargrill flavor on the outside. The cole
slaw is nicely dressed with just enough dressing and presents with a slightly
sweet flavor. Rating: 4.5/5

If you’re looking to a healthy seafood meal and want
to help the environment while you eat, Fish 101 is a great place to stop for a
casual straightforward meal. Just be prepared to wait if dining during peak hours
as they are quite popular!
